Is this too knobbly?

(1/2) > >>

SimonUK:
Can I make a bow out of this? Or should I stop wasting my time now? There are several knobbles on this stave, this is the worst of them. There are also some cracks on the back, I'm not sure how deep they go... how can I get glue into them?

Hello Simon,
None of that 'character' looks terminal to me, try really cheap and runny super glue in the shakes or heated Araldite(to thin it) if they are big.  Yew's to good to waste, I'd go for it.  Good luck.

SimonUK:
Thanks Yeoman. Wouldn't superglue or araldite be too brittle once set?

Nope.  Everyone's doing it man.

Good charector wood you have there. If the checks dont run to deep you should have a really good stave. Make sure to leave extra wood arround the knots. Knots have no worth when it comes to wood!
